Today we are sharing an easy way to get a custom look for your little girl’s Halloween costume this year… by making a fun hair accessory!
I made an Ariel {Little Mermaid} dress for my daughter, and a Lilo {from Lilo & Stitch} dress for a client of mine. (Suzanne is a photographer and bought several of my tutu dresses to use for photo shoots.)
When I am coming up with ideas for my designs, my favorite part is thinking about how I can make a fabulous hair accessory to put the dress “over the top!” For the Lilo costume, I wanted to create an over-sized red hibiscus flower to add a little drama to the outfit.
I used some red satin-type fabric, yellow satin ribbon, and a headband from the dollar store. To create the flower, I cut seven petal shapes out of the red fabric and stitched a seam down the middle of each petal. I added three small pieces of ribbon {with the ends knotted} to make it look like the stamen in the middle of the flower! I carefully glued all the petals together in the center, with the ribbons coming out of the middle. The flower was attached to a red felt circle and slid on to the headband. That way you can adjust the placement of the flower depending who is wearing it! I love how it turned out:
We love linking to these parties!
